My little 9/11 tribute

This morning after watching the 9/11 reports on Fox news from 15 years ago. I was moved. Before we went to a family reunion I went out to the garage and got two red, white, and blue buntings and made a little patriotic tribute with my 55 F350. I hope it helped passers by remember that terrible day that we should never forget.

Thanks for personally remembering and for publicly reminding others. All too quickly we seem to have forgotten by whom and for what reasons we were attacked on that terrible day. The more we forget, the more vulnerable we become to another similar attack on some future date to be added to our national calendar of infamous days remembered.

Wow, I don't know how this post got by this crowd. Based on all other previous comments and posts I know it had to be a fluke. One of the most patriotic groups I know of. As tragic as it was I was moved by the fact that for a brief time we all rallied and stood together as Americans and for America. I personally don't care what a bunch of BABY DADDY overpaid football players think about anything!

Looks good Abe! And yes it does seem as if most of America has forgotten 9/11.
BTW, I also had a family reunion in Lebanon county, Sunday the 11th, but we were unable to attend.

Now I and all my cousins are from Lancaster County originally but our reunion was in Lebanon County near Annville where my one cousin now lives. Isn't that coincidental! Or are you related to me!!

Ah, that is a good PA Dutch name. I went to school with some Copehavers. My mother's maiden name was Flory.
